[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 1130927, member: 35183"] Don't use a die set for threading the barrel. Use a single point cutter the way any good thread is cut. I am willing to believe that the multiple cutting faces of a die which makes a single pass could distort the bore, especially on larger caliber barrels where the wall thickness is not that great in the thread location. My rem 700 Classic in 8x57 was a good example. An 8mm bore (0.323") and the OD of the brake was 5/8". The thread diameter was less than 0.5" [/QUOTE]
